If you are here to read the rumours about the life, times, and death of MohBad, I am sorry to disappoint you. You can go watch some of the…The day one dies is when one becomes a statue.
The MohBad to read here is any creative genius that has anything to do with legal contracts, record labels, and laws to protect his, hers, or their intellectual properties. The MohBad that died is merely the messiah, the change agent, and the light that the Lord has chosen to effect and herald a positive change in the music industry in Nigeria.
At this juncture, it may be appropriate to ask: What is unique and different in this ongoing tragic saga between MohBad and his former record label, Marlian Record? Well, the answers can be found in the misconceptions of the term, record label or record company. The term originates from the paper label glued around the center of a record. However, in business terms, a record label is a business entity or a company whose aim is to preserve, promote, and distribute records on behalf of its artistes.
Prior to the birth of record labels, theaters and churches served as meeting places where people went to listen to music and enjoy general performances. During this period, sheet music was the major means of recording and preserving music. The invention of the piano by Bartolomeo Cristofori around 1700 increased the popularity of sheet music.
